Why do Twitter, fb and Instagram need to force accounts to view public content. Like i only want to check in on som ppl without having the app or an account. This move only gets me further away from using their website/apps

I still have no Twitter account for this reason, creating one now seems like such a daunting task :P

Twatter

mostly due to the monetization model that they have when you pay to boost your page, they suggest it to other people at least fb does it this way

@ElectroArchiver woaa thank you so much it even looks clean and amoled friendly

@joewilliams007 Sadly they didn't take my README PR though :c

@Nanos oh okk. Im kinda milenial so i dont even use facebook ~~ the other ones also not anymore though :)

I would do the same. You don't want to create an account? Gtfo

@jonas-w somehow they manage to make the "fake" client websites look better than the real ones (im surprised)

@Nanos none really. Only Whatsapp and DevRant. I just wanted to check in on someone on Instagram real quick ^^

@joewilliams007 bibliogram for instagram, most of the instances can't get new posts but there exists a list of instances which still can get new posts from instagram

@joewilliams007 yes and privacy friendly, it's perfect

@Nanos yes it is.. But it is an advantage for getting a girls number.

@jonas-w does Instagram really track how long you look at posts? I mean it seems likely since tiktok does aswell and ytb kinda ..

@Nanos well if its longer then a certain time it could just ignore it. Like a 1-2 min limit

Because they're more powerful than the EU and they want to show that.

It's all because of the monetization of these products. They want to make money on advertising, through business accounts + more engagement, which means more time in the app, more ads you can see. I read about this here https://monetag.com/blog/... when I was studying the possibilities of earning money from my Twitter account
